Annelid worms cannot be cut and half and live. Other types of worms can be respawned in their entirety if a sufficient portion of their original body was retained.


How do worms live chopped in half?

When a worm is cut in half, only the front part has the ability to regenerate into a complete worm. The back part will die. The front part will need to have sufficient energy reserves and the wound needs to heal properly in order for regeneration to occur successfully.


What happens if you cut a worm in half?

a planaria worm will grow back in to two separate worms What it says below is not true kind of. Today I cut a worm in half, at first I thought I killed it but then I noticed The tail side started moving around. You know a cats tail well it was moving like that but really fast around the ground. The head side just took off like a normal worm through the grass. I took both sides of the worm home and noticed after 3 or 4 hours that the head part grew its tail back and it was now just a short wimpy worm. The tail part did not grow back though, it simpley died after 3-4 hours. So now you know that if you cut a worm in half it will not make 2 worms just simpley heals it self after hours and the other half stops moving... :) The worm dies a very painful death. It is pure myth that it creates two worms as if you take a time to look up what makes a worm you will see it does indeed have a top and a bottom, so to speak. So, don't rush out and think if i cut this worm in half he will have a little friend to hang out with....coz he wont! :)
